Blown tire forces Stewart to backup car

The right-rear tire on Tony Stewart's No. 20 Toyota exploded during practice Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway, forcing Stewart to a backup car for Sunday's Dickies 500. Robby Gordon will also start the race in a backup car after wrecking his primary No. 7 Dodge in the same practice.
